Cole and I are living in Maumelle...and things are great! Except, you know, for the occasional tree falling on the house and such. Cole is still working in the gulf. He is gone two weeks out of the month, which is not ideal, but it works for us. For now. We hope to have something a little less stressful by the time we are ready to begin a family...which will be in a year or two probably. Although the longer I work as a preschool teacher, the more I think I am ready to go ahead and begin a family. I know we need to be married a while, but I don't want to be the oldest mom at the PTA meeting, and honestly I am really beginning to feel my age, and then some!!!

Wesley is living with us now, and loving it! He is so spoiled! But he is a great companion. Not a great guard dog, but that is what the alarm system is for I suppose.

So one thing I have learned working in my new profession...this is going to be a bad year for my body. I have had a cold or allergies or something bad for 3 weeks. And trust me, after 3 weeks of a runny nose and cough will really wear you out.

Cole is flying tonight...NVG. He buzzed the house last night. I love when he does that...makes me smile, feel proud. But somewhere deep inside of me I think I am maybe a little jealous of his career. Only because it takes him away from me so much. You get used to it, but still...I do wish he could be home more often. I know he wishes he could be too, but to be a good pilot he has to fly a lot and to fly a lot, he has to be gone.
